The longer A fought, the more alarmed he became.
After all,
close-quarters Taijutsu
had always been his greatest strength.
Now,
he had pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit.
With the Strongest Lightning Release Armor, he moved too fast for even the Mangekyō Sharingan to track.
Yet
Naruto Uzumaki easily blocked
every one of his attacks.
Such power
almost made A wonder if he was trapped in Genjutsu.
How could a kid in his teens
possess such monstrous strength?
Even a Kage Level fighter who specialized in Taijutsu would have been smashed to pieces after clashing with him for this long, wouldn't they?
How could the kid's body
withstand a fight this intense?
A suddenly regretted his decision.
Perhaps
he really should have listened to Samui and left Naruto Uzumaki alone.
But
it was too late for regrets.
He had already made an enemy of him.
No matter what,
he had to kill Naruto Uzumaki today.
Otherwise,
Kumogakure would surely face his revenge someday.
"Raikage, is that all you've got?"
Naruto Uzumaki asked calmly.
Even he had to admit that A was powerful.
In the Shinobi World as it stood,
A was practically at the pinnacle.
No wonder he had grown so arrogant, fixated on defeating Konoha and making Kumogakure the greatest village in the Shinobi World.
But
this was probably his limit.
"You little bastard! Prepare to die!"
Hearing the mockery in Naruto Uzumaki's voice, A roared and pulled back several hundred meters.
Then
he charged at Naruto Uzumaki again with all his strength.
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"
At full speed, A shot toward Naruto Uzumaki like a cannonball.
Watching him approach,
Naruto Uzumaki gave a faint smile and tossed a Kunai into the air.
At the sight,
someone flashed through A's mind.
Long ago,
another man
